Steve Sayer, GM of the O2 Arena has confirmed that following test events they will be running events at full capacity from August. If they can have 20K in there we should be able to open up to full capacity for our games.

From the Telegraph


Downing Street is no longer promising that conclusions of the social distancing and Covid passports reviews will be announced this month, citing uncertainty caused by the Indian variant.

The Prime Minister's official spokesman said at a briefing of political journalists this afternoon that there was no "set time" for those announcements to be made.

Yet Boris Johnson had set out a time frame only last week, saying an update on whether social distancing will continue and Covid status certificates will be needed after June 21 would come later in May.

The change in position reflects the new uncertainty created by a surge in the Indian variant of Covid-19, which early data suggests could be more transmissible than other variants.

Number 10 was also unable to confirm that a decision on relaxing rules on weddings would be made on May 24, despite Mr Johnson also saying that would be the case last Monday.

The decision to no longer pledge announcements by the end of the month will raise concerns that the June 21 unlocking could happen on a smaller scale than hoped for just a few weeks ago.

Government figures have stressed that early data suggests the Covid vaccines remain effective against the Indian variant and urged people to get their two doses when eligible.

I'm as desperate for 21st June as everyone else but if they say, for example, an extra two weeks lockdown just to make sure we're clear of it then it's worth it. No point getting this far only to fuck it up at the last minute.

Really hope he’s just doing this so keep expectations down, can’t see anything to suggest we should be locked down longer than planned.

Can’t find vaccination rate stats anywhere? Are we at capacity?

Purely anecdotal but the vaccination centre near me has barely been open for weeks. The question isn't about capacity, it might be about supplies

Yeah then another few weeks.

Next think we know it's autumn again. Maybe throw in a new variant.

It isn't something that is going to go away, we need to learn to live with it.

Looking at that link seems we’re still pretty high in overall doses given weekly.

I was shocked at how fast paced it is.

I was there less than 2 minutes before I had the jab. They had a big box full of them and were just going at it like robots.

Yeah, the booking system gave slots of every 2 minutes. I'm having the Pfizer one it seems.

Its Sage that are to blame for that, the way they go about Scaremongering is disgraceful. They don't live in the real world and think locking down is the only solution to it all.

Hopefully Boris doesn't cave in.

no it's not as deaths are not the only concern - increased hospitalisation lead to reduced capacity in other areas leading to deaths in other wards.

Hospitalisations are going up

You are right DOD. I agree with Sage and think we should lockdown for the rest of the year.

I meant as in lockdown.

Thing is, the people shouting they won't get it will be the ones running campaigns to close the pubs.

I ordered some of those rapid tests off the NHS website on Thursday evening at 6:30pm and they were delivered the next day at 9:00am.
Good going that is. Did a couple of the tests over the weekend before going out.
